SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to prevent tolls being imposed on highways, bridges and tunnels that have been financed by the federal government to an extent of more than five percent. The enactment requires an agreement by the government that will administer the highway, bridge or tunnel not to charge tolls before funds are advanced or guarantees made.

Payments made or guarantees provided before 1990 are not counted for the purpose of the calculation of the level of financing.
